Site Surveys for Successful FWA Deployment on Military Bases

Site Surveys for Successful FWA Deployment on Military Bases

Author: Government Technology Insider May 12, 2025 Duration: 10:55

In this episode of the Government Technology Insider podcast, host Matt Langan spoke with Verizon’s Dale Butterworth, Senior Solutions Partner and Dave Stepp Associate Director of Federal Connected Solutions-Federal to unpack how Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) technology is becoming a cornerstone of the military's modernization efforts. During their conversation they shared how deployment strategy is being shaped by site surveys, how environmental factors affect network design, and why rapid, secure connectivity is fundamental to operational readiness. Butterworth explained why FWA is such a game-changer:

"Military installations have broad, spread-out buildings, and as technology evolves, it's expensive to replace coax cables or old fiber connectivity. FWA eliminates the need for construction costs, providing a simple, easy, and agile solution."
